This is a picture of
the first hovercraft. From this model the second,
larger hovercraft was constructed. This
craft moves by shifting your weight from side to side. Lift is achieved by
using a simple electric powered vacuum cleaner engine. A simple propulsion
device could be mounted to give you movement. The construction price on this
craft is not much at all (around $30) and is able to lift payloads up to 150lbs.
When riding this craft
you'll start to get a strange floating sensation which is quite a unique
experience. This is due to the minimal friction from the hovering.

Dear xinventions,
I bought one of
your plans for your first hovercraft. I just
wanted to let you know that it works really
well! My brother is one hundred sixty pounds and
it lifts him.
Attached is a
picture of the finished craft.
Thanks,
Steve Johnsen |
